I live in Congressman Dana Rohrabacher district. got call from research company trying out messages

[Demovictory9]

to help him win in tough race against a dem. it's gonna be an ugly election. They were trying out lots of race baiting stuff.

"would you be more or less likely to vote for Rohrabacher's opponent if "it's said he's for reparations for african americans",

"if it's said he's for benefits for illegal aliens", etc. hard right dog whistle stuff. and this is in sunny southern California.

1. We have DUers who think CA is totally "progressive." I remind them of Nunes, Issa, and...

...Rohrabacher. I certainly hope his Dem opponent is capable of picking up enough voters to win the seat.

2. Yeah, Orange County has a boatload of racist shitbags

It’s been a Republican haven for decades. Same for the California interior.

3. What did you tell her?

[Demovictory9]

4. that I understood the point of these questions and nothing would shake my support for the dem

She knew before she got to those questions and was laughing as she asked them, saying she knew how I'd reply because she started off asking my opinion of Trump and Rohrabacher overall. "do you strongly approve, approve, neutral, disapprove, strongly disapprove".

7. You were very civil...

and it seems like she was too. Thanks!

6. I was at a family wedding in the Bay Area.

Groom’s family was hard right. Thankfully, groom was normal.
Spent the night biting my tongue.

9. Don't think I could've done it.

10. Same here, there would have been some wedding cake tossing, especially,

if it was all chocolate or sickly sweet vanilla.
